It was in the high 40's here today. I got a few miles in, nothing major. Felt good to be on the bike again. It's suppose to be in the high 50's later this week. I just might have to ride it to work one day this week.

Default A little ride
Even living in central illinois, I got a little ride in yesterday. Wife even went, what a trooper! It's amazing how good it makes me feel.
Come on spring!

Glad you got a ride in. If my injectors would get here I would go for a ride. As long as there is no snow or ice on the roads & above 26*, I am fine.

46 here today, but to much sand and salt yet. And if that wasn't enough, the pot holes are so big here, it would take days to find ya if you went in one.

Got 45 miles in (central Ohio). Lots of cleaning ahead of me now, all was good until some unavoidable melting snow rivers on route 40. Nice white salty mist on the bike now.

Itdan,
I know what you're talking about on route 40. I was out that way yesterday and knew to stay away on my bike today. Better days are coming and warmer too.
